Common questions when considering G Suite

Overview

What is the difference between G Suite and Google’s free apps?

With G Suite, you'll receive a number of additional business-grade services
not included with Google’s free consumer apps. These services include: custom
business email @yourcompany, twice the amount of cloud storage across
Gmail and Drive, 24/7 phone and email support, 99.9%
guaranteed uptime on business email, interoperability with Microsoft Outlook,
additional security options like two-step authentication and SSO, and
administrative controls for user accounts.

Can I purchase individual G Suite apps?

No. When you sign up for G Suite, you’ll gain access to a set of integrated
apps that work together seamlessly. For instance, you can receive a message
in Gmail and instantly convert it into a
Calendar event. When you make a comment
in Docs, Sheets, or Slides, collaborators automatically receive email
alerts. With a single click, you can launch a Hangouts video meeting from your inbox or
calendar. Using these tools together improves productivity and gives your
business the most value. However, you are welcome to purchase the suite and
only use the services of your choice.

Can I replace my current software with G Suite?

We’ve found that many of our customers are able to eliminate their existing
productivity suites and rely exclusively on G Suite to create different kinds
of files, including text documents, spreadsheets, and presentations. You can
work on those files in real time with other people and store them in the
cloud with Google Drive. G Suite’s apps work
across devices. Unlike traditional desktop applications, there is no software
to install. G Suite is also compatible with files made in other programs,
such as Microsoft Office.
